This course would suit those with little or no experience of the letting industry, but will also benefit those who have been in practice for some time. It will give a basic understanding of the legal concepts which underlie the letting of property.

The course will focus on the most important legal requirements that an agency needs to comply with in order to help their landlord and the agency avoid breaching their legal duties and possibly committing criminal offences. The course will consider the fundamental rights and obligations of both landlords and tenants and also introduce some of the new and proposed legislation which will have an effect on landlords and letting agents.
